Thanks to Gambra on Thumped for directing me to this apparently very limited split CD from the Mogwai/Fuck Buttons tour. Mogwai tackle ‘Colours Move’ while Fuck Buttons re-interpret ‘Mogwai Fear Satan’.
Fuck Buttons’ album has grown on me exponentially while Mogwai’s new one The Hawk is Howling is another solid follow-on from Mr. Beast. More on that later. How about a thought for an attempt at the best song title ever, included here for posterity, from the Batcat EP entitled ‘Stupid Prick Gets Chased by the Police and Loses His Slut Girlfriend’. Yessss.
Fuck Buttons – Colours Move (Mogwai remix)
Mogwai – Mogwai Fear Satan (Fuck Buttons remix)
Mogwai – Stupid Prick Gets Chased by the Police and Loses His Slut Girlfriend’
Buy stuff from the Mogwai shop.

The Fuck Buttons take on Mogwai Fear Satan is magnificant. One of the best pieces of music I’ve heard all year.
Been my album of the year thus far 🙂

Kinda reminds me of the Animal Collective somehow, esp. Safer – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rvPX8UlQ78 – must have something to do with all the insane screaming!!
Bit poor on the old lyric front mind you 😉 but I don’t think thats the point.
